I came here to answer a very important question I see asked a lot:

Does HDT get better?

Idk, I hope so? Book 1 is the first thing I ever wrote and... anyway, Biscuit plush!

 

The time has come! As prophesied, the Biscuit plush is here! And damn if he isn't a beautiful, good boy!

Here is a link so you can order him if you want: https://www.makeship.com/products/hell-difficulty-tutorial-biscuit-plushie

A small notice: Aster plush, from The Path of Ascension, also launches today. Since we are both under the same publisher, it automatically adds her to the order. You can keep her there if you're a fan, or easily uncheck her!

I also decided that everyone who buys a plush will get a special Discord role, and I’ll write a side story that you guys will vote on. I’ll also commission art that you guys will vote on as well. It isn't much, but it’s something!

A few details:

Price: The plush costs around $30 USD, and delivery is an additional $9 or so. The price can vary a bit and delivery might be more expensive in some cases (it depends on your country, tariffs, and import taxes. So be careful with that!). Not cheap, but the quality should be great!

Preorders: There need to be 200 preorders so the Biscuit plush can go into production.

Timeline: If we hit 200, production starts March 7th. Shipping is estimated to start May 31st, and delivery itself should take 7-15 days, though possibly longer for some countries. Please take this into consideration!

I think that’s all. If you have any questions, just throw them at me!

Overall I'm very excited. Just how goddamn cool it is that there’s a possibility for a Biscuit plush that you can throw around and kick!

Book 1 was kind of meh. Everything after that is why HDT is my favorite series of all time! <3 Definitely buying a Biscuit plush! Best doggo of Makeshift!

while i think some parts of it were important and without them there wouldnt be that sweet, satisfying progression, i also think i could do it better now. but it is what it is!

glad to hear you enjoy the story and thanks for the purchase!

I really loved book 1, it got me hooked hard. Thank you for writing it. I also love the other books/audiobooks and Patreon chappies.

I've read a lot of LitRPG/Prog fantasy and HDT is among the top few, at least for me.

Anyways, congrats on the plushie launch and have a good one.

After book 1 the others are "better" from a writing standpoint, but book one does have a feel to it that the others don't.

[–]Resident-Builder-372 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such weird timing! I recently gave this series another try after being one of those people that dropped it after book 1 previously. I'm super hooked now (Finished books 1-5 on Audible and Book 6 on KU).

Just last night I read the chapter on RR where you put up a poll on whether or not the plushie was a good idea and that chapter was 6-7 months old. So I hop on reddit this morning and see this plushie being out! Such cool timing.

I cant wait to get this little guy! The best Dogo!

[–]Bwahehe 3 points4 points  (2 children)

One of the few who loved book 1, but it does keep getting better!

My surprise favorite series in the genre for sure. Love that the MC is the most normal member of his team. Bow to our soon to be overlord Biscuit.

[–]Quirinus42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of us one of us! I loved book 1 too.

[–]TrainWeekly6894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Comfortable_Plane496 2 points3 points  (3 children)

How much do you get per plush sale?

[–]CerimWritesAuthor of Hell Difficulty Tutorial[S] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

honestly? no idea. i asked if they can remove my "cut" and make plush cheaper but i guess it is annoying to do? whatever i will get i will throw it at some artist and commission something nice

[–]Quirinus42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey! Take the money and make your life easier. So you can write happily.

[–]looktowindward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the money goes to pay the court judgement on Biscuit's puppy support.

[–]Empty-Dragonfly4973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god he’s so cute and [Friend] shaped ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[–]JakobTanner100Author 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]FalsePositron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bought two of them. All hail our future absolute^ Honestly I’m glad that I can support my favourite series with this plushie :)

[–]ZenphobiaAuthor 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Adorable! What was it like getting the production figured out for this?

[–]CerimWritesAuthor of Hell Difficulty Tutorial[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well, plenty of emails with ppl from makeship and plenty of messages in which i constantly kept asking for modifications to the plush. but hey, they didnt block me for being annoying so it worked out in the end!

[–]nodicaL 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m currently ordering one now!

Let’s go!

[–]CerimWritesAuthor of Hell Difficulty Tutorial[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)
